I'm gonna flunk out of b-school!" The other guys in the team all comforted her, but I'm a huge dick, so I just laughed and said "just chill. no one flunks out of b-school."

some of that stuff can be a bit tricky, or at least some difficult questions can be made with the material, as i'd assume top b-school profs would/should do. |

|
Date: November 6th, 2014 1:08 PM Author: soul-stirring hunting ground chance of cheating is low since they are computer administered, and scoring is determined by an algorithm.
i think people just need to accept that American secondary education has failed us and that Americans just suck at math and science. |

Date: November 6th, 2014 1:12 PM Author: soul-stirring hunting ground it's not just lack of studying. it's that asian students are introduced to difficult math at a young age, so for them, the GMAT quant is a piece of cake. the problem is pretty structural.
i'm taking a course on asset management right now at b-school, and it's actually one of the more mathematical courses offered. we go over modern portfolio theory, hedging, currency volatility, etc. we do our weekly problem sets in groups. there are 2 chinese girls in my team who are doing a masters in financial engineering, and their math skills are out of this world compared to even the really smart U.S. MBAs. for one of the problems, they did differential equations to solve it, and they tried to explain it to me, but I couldn't understand it. even the prof was like "wow, you guys really went way beyond what I expected."

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all these millionaires from third world countries end up getting 790's

Date: November 6th, 2014 1:42 PM Author: violent mediation LOL at how Americans always defend TTT America based on referring to some stereotypical trait happening abroad such as "Oh China sucks cause its a peasant commie society!!" or "Chinks just cheat on all the tests"
There never is a rationale factual explanation for America being TTT. It is always the "other" that has something inherently wrong with it. |

Date: November 6th, 2014 1:43 PM Author: soul-stirring hunting ground yeah. white Americans have a tendency to blame others for their failures rather than owning up to it and improving. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2720388&forum_id=2#26661407) |

Date: November 6th, 2014 1:45 PM Author: sepia bawdyhouse From an article on Cheating in China
Zhao describes the lengths to which students go to get high scores. Many of the courses they take are specifically geared for test preparation, not learning. Schools exist to prepare for the tests:
Teachers guess possible [test] items, companies sell answers and wireless cheating devices to students, and students engage in all sorts of elaborate cheating. In 2013, a riot broke out because a group of students in Hubei Province were stopped from executing the cheating scheme their parents purchased to ease their college entrance exam.
The British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that an angry mob of two thousand people smashed cars and chanted, “We want fairness. There is no fairness if you do not let us cheat.” In the last year of high school, many schools do nothing but test preparation; “no new content is taught…. A large proportion of publications for children in China are practice test papers.” |
